Configuring gamepad

[BHayley]

OK I got Project64 to work. However, when I go to configure controller and click a button to set the key on the gamepad, the stupid thing automatically changes to JoyUp or something then it says the other keys already have that usage. how do I fix this?

Does your gamepad have a throttle? If it has, make sure that the throttle is centered.

[BHayley]

Do you mean the Precision keys? Otherwise I'm not sure what this throttle is.
I have a Gravis Eliminator Aftershock

It might be a hyper-sensitive analog stick. Temporarily setting the deadzone to max should allow you to configure the buttons.

[BHayley]

I'm sure you're right, but am a novice at these terms. What is the deadzone?

[squall_leonhart]

its a set amount of the axis where the driver nulls the sticks movement so it isn't picked up by pj64.

its within the plugin properties.

[BHayley]

which plugin property do i set?

The deadzone! Max it, configure your buttons, then turn it back down.
